Rotary’s strength comes from the combined efforts of business and professional people who want to give back the community, and who want to meet and work with other like-minded people. It is the place where business meets community service.

 | In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Saroni-Lena Scholarship, Mary Geong, Chair of the Saroni-Lena Scholarship Committee, ably assisted by Vince Mok, introduced three of this year’s five high school scholarship recipients. Each recipient received a $6,000 scholarship plus an assigned Rotary mentor. They are Katia Castaneda from Oakland Lighthouse Community Charter School, Heather Bach from Oakland High School, and Denzel Tongue from Oakland Tech. They were on hand, along with some of their parents and sponsors, and received a warm reception from the club. (The scholars not in attendance are Jaontra Henderson and Briana Scott who were away on a senior graduation trip.)

 | Historically, public kindergartens in California accepted certain four-year-old children who were not prepared socially or emotionally to be with five-year-olds. In 2010, the Kindergarten Readiness Act was enacted. It specified that children must turn five in September of the year that they enter kindergarten. It also created a new pre-kindergarten school year called Transitional Kindergarten (“TK”). The members of Oakland Rotary refer to TK as “Kinder Prep.” | | |

Youth & Education Committee's New Project
This year, the Youth and Education Committee will be undertaking support of a new Oakland Unified School District program for pre-kindergarteners, called Transitional Kindergarten, which is the first new grade level since the 1870s. This will be a key educational program to get kids started learning early, which is crucial to later success.
Saroni-Lena Scholarship Winners 
Saroni-Lena Scholarship Committee member Vincent Mok introduced five outstanding scholarship recipients for the 2012-2016 time period. Students holding flowers (from left) are Jalissa Tello, Gabriel Kardener, Angelica Pardo, and Stephanie Hang. Missing was Angela McNeal. The committee wishes to thank Rotarians for their contributions to ORE that funded these scholarships.
